1. Kinetic study of irreversible inhibition of an enzyme consumed in the reaction it catalyses. Application to the inhibition of the puromycin reaction by spiramycin and hydroxylamine
G P Dinos,C Coutsogeorgopoulos J Enzyme Inhib . 1997 Jun;12(2):79-99. doi: 10.3109/14756369709035811.
A systematic procedure for the kinetic study of irreversible inhibition when the enzyme is consumed in the reaction which it catalyses, has been developed and analysed. Whereas in most reactions the enzymes are regenerated after each catalytic event and serve as reusable transacting effectors, in the consumed enzymes each catalytic center participates only once and there is no enzyme turnover. A systematic kinetic analysis of irreversible inhibition of these enzyme reactions is presented. Based on the algebraic criteria proposed in this work, it should be possible to evaluate either the mechanism of inhibition (complexing or non-complexing), or the type of inhibition (competitive, non-competitive, uncompetitive, mixed non-competitive). In addition, all kinetic constants involved in each case could be calculated. An experimental application of this analysis is also presented, concerning peptide bond formation in vitro. Using the puromycin reaction, which is a model reaction for the study of peptide bond formation in vitro and which follows the same kinetic law as the enzymes under study, we have found that: (i) the antibiotic spiramycin inhibits the puromycin reaction as a competitive irreversible inhibitor in a one step mechanism with an association rate constant equal to 1.3 x 10(4) M-1 s-1 and, (ii) hydroxylamine inhibits the same reaction as an irreversible non-competitive inhibitor also in a one step mechanism with a rate constant equal to 1.6 x 10(-3) M-1 s-1.
2. [Impurity profiling of macrolide antibiotics by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry]
Ming-Juan Wang,Chang-Qin Hu Yao Xue Xue Bao . 2013 May;48(5):642-7.
Macrolide antibiotics are broad-spectrum, with activity against a range of Gram-positive, Gram-negative organisms and some anaerobes. The components of macrolide antibiotics are generally complicated. Therefore, it is very important to establish impurity profiles of these antibiotics to ensure their safety and process control. Compared with classical methods, the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method is particularly advantageous to characterize minor components at trace levels in terms of sensitivity, efficiency and selectivity, thus more and more widely used in establishments of impurity profiles. In this study, the general approaches to characterize minor components in complex pharmaceutical matrix, fragmentation pathways of 14- and 16-membered macrolide antibiotics and the establishment of the impurity profile of acetylspiramycin were given to provide valuable enlightenments to establish the impurity profiles of pharmaceutical products.
3. Effects of macrolide antibiotics on drug metabolism in rats and in humans
D Pessayre Int J Clin Pharmacol Res . 1983;3(6):449-58.
In rats, troleandomycin induces microsomal enzymes and promotes its own transformation into a metabolite forming an inactive complex with the iron (II) of cytochrome P-450; eventually, several monooxygenase activities are markedly reduced. In humans, troleandomycin also induces microsomal enzymes, and forms an inactive cytochrome P-450-troleandomycin metabolite complex; the clearance of antipyrine, that of theophylline, and that of methylprednisolone are markedly reduced. The concomitant administration of troleandomycin and other drugs may produce ischaemic accidents (ergotamine), cholestasis (oral contraceptives) and neurologic signs of intoxication (theophylline or carbamazepine). Qualitatively similar effects are produced, in rats and in humans, by erythromycin. These effects, however, are much weaker than those of troleandomycin. In humans, the clearance of antipyrine and that of theophylline are only slightly affected. Drug interactions have been reported in a few patients only. Josamycin and midecamycin do not form cytochrome P-450-metabolite complexes in rats. In humans, these macrolides do not inhibit the clearance of theophylline; midecamycin does not inhibit the clearance of antipyrine. Although a case of possible josamycin-ergotamine interaction has been reported, the role of josamycin may be questioned in this isolated instance. Midecamycin, or josamycin, might be preferred to other macrolides in those patients who must receive other drugs metabolized by cytochrome P-450.
4. Specific targeting of protein-DNA complexes by DNA-reactive drugs (+)-CC-1065 and pluramycins
D Henderson,L H Hurley J Mol Recognit . 1996 Mar-Apr;9(2):75-87. doi: 10.1002/(sici)1099-1352(199603)9:23.0.co;2-4.
To gain insight into the interactions between transcriptional factor proteins and DNA, the DNA-reactive drugs (+)-CC-1065 and pluramycin were used to target specific protein-DNA complexes. The structural features of the complex between the transcriptional activator Sp1 and the 21-base-pair repeat of the early promoter region of SV40 DNA were examined using hydroxyl-radical footprinting; (+)-CC-1065, a sequence-specific minor groove bending probe; and circularization experiments. The results show that the 21-base-pair repeat region has an intrinsically in-phase bent structure that is stabilized upon saturation Sp1 binding by protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions to produce a looping structure. The intercalating drug pluramycin was used to probe the structural details of the interaction between the TATA binding protein (TBP) and the TATA box DNA sequence. TBP, which directs initiation of RNA transcription, exhibits two-fold symmetry and apparently interacts with the TATA box in a symmetrical fashion. However, the interaction results in an asymmetric effect, in that transcription is initiated only in the downstream direction. Using pluramycin as a probe, it was determined that TBP binding to the human myoglobin TATA sequences enhances pluramycin reactivity at a site immediately downstream of the TATA box. The implications on transcriptional control of ternary complexes comprised of transcriptional factors, DNA, and DNA-reactive compounds will be presented.
5. Decrease in a constitutive form of cytochrome P-450 by macrolide antibiotics
H Mitsui,M Kitada,T Miura,M Komori,H Ohi,T Kamataki,M Iwasaki J Antimicrob Chemother . 1989 Oct;24(4):551-9. doi: 10.1093/jac/24.4.551.
The effects of administration of macrolide antibiotics on cytochrome P-450 in liver microsomes of male rats were investigated. The macrolides tested were those with a 14-membered ring such as oleandomycin, troleandomycin, erythromycin and erythromycin estolate, and those with a 16-membered ring such as rokitamycin, leucomycin and josamycin. Cytochrome P-450-metabolite complex was detected with oleandomycin, troleandomycin, erythromycin and erythromycin estolate, whereas no such effect was observed with rokitamycin, leucomycin and josamycin. The content of uncomplexed cytochrome P-450 in liver microsomes remained unchanged with rokitamycin, leucomycin and josamycin, decreased with troleandomycin and oleandomycin, and increased with erythromycin and erythromycin estolate, indicating that oleandomycin, troleandomycin, erythromycin and erythromycin estolate also affect the amounts of other forms of cytochrome P-450. The administration of oleandomycin, troleandomycin, erythromycin and erythromycin estolate resulted in a dramatic decrease in the activities of testosterone 2 alpha- and 16 alpha-hydroxylases in liver microsomes. Supporting these results, a marked decrease (more than 75%) in the content of P-450-male, a major constitutive form of cytochrome P-450 in male rats, was noted with oleandomycin, troleandomycin, erythromycin and erythromycin estolate, while the decrease was rather small with rokitamycin and leucomycin. We conclude that the administration of the 14-membered ring macrolides may affect drug and steroid metabolism not only by formation of P-450-metabolite complex but also by decrease in the content of P-450-male.
6. Biosynthesis of kitasamycin (leucomycin) by leucine analog-resistant mutants of Streptomyces kitasatoensis
C Vézina,A Kudelski,P Audet,C Bolduc Antimicrob Agents Chemother . 1979 May;15(5):738-46. doi: 10.1128/AAC.15.5.738.
The biosynthesis of kitasamycin in Streptomyces kitasatoensis B-896 was profoundly influenced by the addition of precursors to complex and defined media: l-valine and l-leucine directed biosynthesis towards the pairs A(4)/A(5) (R(2) = butyryl) and A(1)/A(3) (R(2) = isovaleryl), respectively, and total kitasamycin titers were doubled and quadrupled, respectively. S. kitasatoensis B-896 was very resistant (>20 mg/ml) to alpha-aminobutyric acid, an analog of l-valine, but very susceptible to l-leucine analogs 5', 5', 5'-trifluoroleucine and 4-azaleucine (5 to 10 mug/ml). The inhibition by 4-azaleucine could be reversed by l-leucine, but by none of the other amino acids of the pyruvate family or the amino acids of the aspartate pathway. 4-Azaleucine-resistant mutants were isolated which in the absence of any precursors overproduced l-leucine and a kitasamycin complex mainly consisting of the pair A(1)/A(3). These 4-azaleucine-resistant mutants are presumed to be regulatory mutants in which alpha-isopropylmalate synthase, the first enzyme of the l-leucine pathway, has become either derepressed or desensitized to leucine feedback inhibition. l-Leucine-regulatory mutants have economic value: in the absence of expensive precursors, they produce a kitasamycin complex in which the most potent pair A(1)/A(3) is dominant and the least active components are absent.
7. Sequence specific recognition of ligand-DNA complexes studied by NMR
X Gao,X Han Curr Med Chem . 2001 Apr;8(5):551-81. doi: 10.2174/0929867003373337.
The last few years have represented an accelerated accumulation in detailed information about ligand-DNA interactions. A collected view of literature information is essential for advancing our understanding of the principles of ligand-DNA recognition, utilizing this valuable information for construction of a modeling database, and eventually the rational design of DNA-binding ligands possessing desired properties. This review is concentrated on structure-based information on ligand-oligodeoxyribonucleotide (DON) complexes published since 1995, especially focusing on the results obtained from NMR structure elucidation. The discussions emphasize the sequence specific recognition of novel binding motifs or binding modules of ligand molecules rather than specific atomic details. A comprehensive list of DNA binding ligands are discussed in the text and are also summarized in a table. The DNA sequences that are recognized by specific ligand molecules as studied by NMR are annotated in a figure to provide a clear view of target selection. This review also briefly describes NMR methods for characterization and structure elucidation of ligand-DNA complexes.
8. Stimulation of leucomycin production by magnesium phosphate and its relevance to nitrogen catabolite regulation
C Kitao,S Omura,H Tanaka,Y Tanaka,Y Iwai Antimicrob Agents Chemother . 1980 Nov;18(5):691-5. doi: 10.1128/AAC.18.5.691.
Addition of magnesium phosphate [Mg3(PO4)2 x 8H2O] to a complex medium or to an ammonium ion-containing, chemically defined medium stimulated leucomycin production by Streptomyces kitasatoensis. Ammonium ions in high concentrations inhibited leucomycin production, but their limitation by magnesium phosphate led to the high production of the antibiotic.
9. Nitroso Diels-Alder (NDA) reaction as an efficient tool for the functionalization of diene-containing natural products
Marvin J Miller,Serena Carosso Org Biomol Chem . 2014 Oct 14;12(38):7445-68. doi: 10.1039/c4ob01033g.
This review describes the use of nitroso Diels-Alder reactions for the functionalization of complex diene-containing natural products in order to generate libraries of compounds with potential biological activity. The application of this methodology to the structural modification of a series of natural products (thebaine, steroidal dienes, rapamycin, leucomycin, colchicine, isocolchicine and piperine) is discussed using relevant examples from the literature from 1973 onwards. The biological activity of the resulting compounds is also discussed. Additional comments are provided that evaluate the methodology as a useful tool in organic, bioorganic and medicinal chemistry.
